I’ve been a proponent of eliminating HFCS from our entire lexicon, let alone our bodies, for some time now. It can never be said often enough and you’ve said it well.

Just wanted to point out that with regard to the body’s the body’s ability to metabolize HFCS, you are incorrect. The human body has no trouble metabolizing it – just as it has no trouble metabolizing any other sugar. Chemically, HFCS differs little from regular sugar and the term (high fructose) is rather misleading (the amount of fructose in HFCS versus table sugar is insignificant. (This BTW, isn’t just my opinion, but scientific fact).
The problem with American’s health and our obesity problem isn’t HFCS, trans fats, etc, etc. None of those foods are a problem – in moderation – and therein lies the problem!!!

That’s when I really started reading labels and educating myself on what was going into my body.

I applaud you for a fabulous post about a tricky subject (as some still like to think of HFCS as harmless. And don’t even get me started on the “everything in moderation” line of thinking!) It’s not always easy to take a stand within the food community, but you’ve done a nice job here of digging a little deeper and presenting your argument (and the facts) in an clear manner. I hope that your writing encourages at least a few of your readers to rethink how they eat. Yes, it is expensive and time-consuming to buy whole, natural foods and cook them yourself. However, you’ve made it clear that NOT doing so is even more costly in the long run.

Best,
Casey
